Crumbling Cuban Color

These images speak of the Latin love of vibrant color , along witha determination to bring a dose of cheer into obvious decay.Once again, Michael Eastmans' photography speaks eloquently ofAnother Place & Another Time .... . . and changing realities.

So evocative...and yes changing realities...now buildings are made the quickest way possible with the cheapest materials and are filled (by the majority - not us darling!) with flimsy mass produced 'stuff'. There's such beauty in places like Cuba...and Vietnan with its French past...yes this beauty comes from adversity...but it does jog us into remembering...purchase less...purchase quality...purchase handcrafted...My love to you honey...hope the day is sweet...

Exquisite!!Have you heard of Robert Polidori? I wrote a post about one of his shows at the Nicholas Metivier Gallery where he displayed his photos of the Versailles restoration. He also did a series in Cuba. He also finds beauty in decay.
